Replacing the Toner Cartridge with a New One
When the message <TONER LOW/PREPARE NEW TONER> appears on the display, redistribute the toner inside the toner cartridge. If the message persists after redistributing the toner, replace the toner cartridge with a new one.
When toner empty error occurs while receiving fax, printing fax is interrupted and the received data will be stored in the memory. If you set <KEEP PRINTING>, you can keep printing fax documents or reports without replacing the toner cartridge.
Note:
- When <KEEP PRINTING> is set, the printed documents may be light or blurred because of lack of toner. The data is erased when the documents are printed out, so you cannot print the same documents again.
